Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes as Super Typhoon Man-yi is making landfall along the eastern coast of Catanduanes, Philippines on Saturday.

Man-yi, called Pepito in the Philippines, was packing winds of 161 miles per hour when it landed as a super typhoon, equivalent to those of a Category 5 hurricane, before being downgraded to a typhoon, according to the U.S. Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

Around 255,000 people have fled their homes ahead of the super typhoon, the sixth major storm to hit the country in the past month.
